In addition, HP announced that incumbent directors Joel Hyatt,
John Joyce, Robert Ryan and Lucille Salhany are not standing for

“The addition of these new directors will further diversify the
outstanding talents and wide-ranging experience that our
directors already bring to HP,” said Raymond J. Lane,
non-executive chairman of the board of directors, HP. “Each is a
widely respected and deeply experienced business leader, and
together they will provide our board and management team with new
insight and perspectives relating to HP’s business and the
rapidly changing technology industry.”
